PBKS vs RCB Head-To-Head Record

PBKS Vs RCB Pitch Report
The pitch at the IS Bindra Stadium favours both batsmen and bowlers. The average total at this stadium is 163. So the match at this ground may not be high-scoring. Batsmen can score freely after settling down on the wicket. The weather forecast for Mohali is clear for Thursday with no chance of rain.
IPL 2023 PBKS vs RCB Prediction
Punjab Kings are likely to defeat RCB as they have a well-balanced squad. Their skipper Shikhar Dhawan is the form of his life. Also, talented youngsters like Jitesh Sharma and Shahrukh Khan are performing well. All-rounders like Sam Curran and Sikandar Raza played a key role in Punjab’s wins this year.
For RCB, their skipper Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli and Glenn Maxwell are in supreme form. However other batsmen in the batting line-up failed to give enough support to these players. Also, bowlers like Harshal Patel and Wayne Parnell failed to make an impact this season of IPL. However if RCB managed to put a total of 200 in front of Punjab courtesy of their strong top-order, we can get to see a thriller on Thursday.
